Tomahawk inputTextHelp tag

This tag is used to create the input text box in the
page with the capability of disappearing or selecting the text displayed in the
component for the help of the user. Text for the help is set to the helpText
attribute and capability of disappearing or selecting the text is provided by
selectText attribute of the tag.This tag has
additional feature of displaying value only, not the widget of the box. This component
also has ability to be visible or not visible according to the role of the user.
In the same way, it also has the ability to be enable or disable according to
the user role. This component also has the capability to render the id for the
component just the same as we have mentioned in the id attribute of the tag.
Normally the naming system of JSF renders the id for the component with some
additional text, typically with id of the form as prefix. But this component has
an attribute forceId which forces the component to render the same id mentioned
in the id attribute.

id : This is the value which is used to
uniquely identify the component within the closest container like form or
subview. The main thing to remember is that its value must be a static
value.

binding : This attribute is used to specify
the property of the backing bean with which this component instance is to be
bound.

If this attribute is set to true then this component is presented in
the page to the user. If false, then this component is not rendered.

set to this attribute.

the converter for the component.

immediate : This attribute is a boolean
attribute that is used to identify the phase during which the value change
event should be fired. In normal processing of the event, if immediate
attribute is not set to true, the value change event is fired during the
invoke application phase but if immediate attribute is set to true then the
event is fired at the end of apply request value phase.

required : This is a boolean attribute. If it
is set to true then it is necessary for the component to have the value
otherwise an error message is rendered to the user for the
component.

validator : It takes the method binding
expression. This expression represents the validator method. This method is
called at the time of validation of the component.

valueChangeListener : This also takes a
method binding expression. This expression represents value change listener
method. This method will be called when new value is set for this component.
you can change the phase of the life cycle when this method should be fired
by the use of immediate attribute discussed above.

text to be displayed. It can take two values LTR(left to right) and RTL
(right to left).

the component when displayed.

one of the roles listed in the enabledOnUserRole attribute then enabling or

otherwise enabled. If the user is not in the above list then the component
is rendered disabled.

one of the roles listed in the visibleOnUserRole attribute then processing
of the component is decided on the base of "rendered" attribute.

otherwise displayed on the page. On the other hand if the current user
is not in the above list then the component is not processed.

forceId : This is a boolean attribute with
default value false. If this attribute is set to true, the tag is forced to
render the id for the component exactly as mentioned in the id attribute of
the tag. The benefit of this attribute is that we can reference component by
id in the javascript. If we don't use this attribute with the true value
then the id for the component is presented in different format.
